If you have ever felt the urge to toss on a slicker, jump into a cool looking boat and help protect marine wildlife from evil but unfortunately have been dissuaded by your lack of sea worthiness, here’s your chance.

The new Sea Shepherd Conservation mobile app allows fans to gain access to their “exciting, dangerous and important missions” without the need for a bucket or an industrial sized Dramamine.

The app provides insights into the 2010-11 Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign, Operation No Compromise (the campaign to be featured on the fourth season of Whale Wars), access to international breaking news from Captain Watson and his crew, as well as “unrestricted first-hand updates on the real environmental catastrophes that are putting our oceans in greater peril with each passing day.”

“Technology continues to change the way the world receives information and breaking news. I’m grateful that we are one of the first non-profit conservation organizations to leverage this technology and send updates to our supporters [via iPhones] at the click of a button,” said organization Founder and President Captain Paul Watson. “Sea Shepherd is ready for this year’s campaign with the goal of financially ‘sinking’ Japan’s illegal whaling operations. This new tool will allow iPhone users to do their part by staying informed, sharing updates to improve awareness and raise funds, and help ensure our success against this barbaric slaughter.”

So put away the galoshes and head on over to the iTunes app store to check out the new Sea Shepherd iPhone application. It's free and you won't have to worry about losing your lunch. That alone is priceless.
